The tools rural communities need to grow stronger – to construct essential facilities, to invigorate a local economy, to improve basic services – are well within reach. And we help local leaders use them wisely. The Raymond James USDA Rural Development Finance team works with communities to chart a variety of development projects, including water and environmental projects, community facilities, and business and industrial endeavors.
